Hi,

Instead of converting your boxes into meshes before smoothing you might want to initially make your boxes out of six joined "mesh quads".

Hope that helps,

Arthur

Hi T,

Arthur is saying it very correctly. Now, this script should make it a bit simpler to do. It makes a mesh twisted box from 8 points. It works if the order of the 8 points constituting the new mesh is known in advance, and needs to be with the top and bottom points aligned and in order (use the point list component to see it more clearly).

There is also a small additional example.

Hey Giulio,

I have a question. Is there a way to apply your script to the following geometry? Well, I don't have the 8 points to do that, cause the corners are rounded. Or is there any other possibility to smooth the whole shape like in your script? It is only about the smoothing, I already did the cells and stuff similar to this famous Masterplan: CLICK ME

Thanks for any hints and help!
